VEV and Whitespace have announced a partnership to help councils transition to electric fleets using data analytics.

VEV provides fleet electrification solutions while Whitespace supplies waste management software.

The companies said using data to assess vehicle routes, schedules and energy requirements could help authorities plan the right mix of vehicles, chargers and energy sources.

VEV CEO Mike Nakrani said: ‘Every fleet needs a different approach to electrification because every fleet is unique. And data-led planning enables bespoke configuration based on real fleet duty cycles and routes.’

Whitespace CEO Mark Garvey said: ‘By uniting with VEV to emphasise the significance of data-driven approaches for the electrification of council fleets, we hope to empower local authorities to make more informed decisions, benefitting both the environment and operational efficiency.’
